![]() Your task is to look at photographs of actual slides and Remember that most cells you see will be in interphase, that's the cells "resting" state. In order to find a particular cell in any of the stages - prophase, metaphase,Īnaphase, telophase. Scientists will make slides of cells that should be undergoing mitosis This is why mitosis is only visible in cells that are dividing, like the whitefish embryo and the onion root tip.Ĭomplete. Remember that when cells divide, each new cell needs an exact copy of the DNA in the parent cell. The onion root is also a good place because this is the area where the plant is growing. The whitefish embryo is a good place to look at mitosis because these cells are rapidly dividing as the fish embryo is growing. Used by biologists to study mitosis: the blastula of a whitefish ![]() So finding a good spot to study it can be challenging. Remember, that mitosis occurs only in areas of growth,
